The Moody Blues
“Nights in White Satin” (1967)
    Nights in white satin,
  Never reaching the end,
     Letters I've written,
   Never meaning to send.

   Beauty I'd always missed
   With these eyes before,
    Just what the truth is
     I can't say anymore.

      'Cause I love you,
        Yes, I love you,
     Oh, how, I love you.
Gazing at people,
    Some hand in hand,
  Just what I'm going thru
   They can understand.

     Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend,
  Just what you want to be
    You will be in the end,

     And I love you,
     Yes, I love you,
    Oh, how, I love you.
    Oh, how, I love you.
Nights in white satin,
Never reaching the end,
 Letters I've written,
Never meaning to send.

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before,
 Just what the truth is
  I can't say anymore.

   'Cause I love you,
     Yes, I love you,
  Oh, how, I love you.
  Oh, how, I love you.

Major Tom
“Space Oddity” (1968)


Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
    Take your protein pills
   and put your helmet on

 Ground Control to Major Tom
   Commencing countdown,
         engines on
        Check ignition
and may God's love be with you
This is Ground Control
                   to Major Tom
           You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
         Now it's time to leave the capsule
                     if you dare

      This is Major Tom to Ground Control
          I'm stepping through the door
                  And I'm floating
              in a most peculiar way
      And the stars look very different today
For here
           Am I sitting in a tin can
            Far above the world
             Planet Earth is blue
         And there's nothing I can do

                 Though I'm past
          one hundred thousand miles
               I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
        Tell my wife I love her very much
                    she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
     Your circuit's dead,
  there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
          Can you....

     Here am I floating
     round my tin can
   Far above the Moon
    Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do.
Which is a modern-day artist
who depends a great deal upon
        theatricality?

• 1) Taylor Swift
• 2) Lady Gaga
• 3) Celine Dion
